A fire broke out in the 9th floor flat of Surya Apartment, a 10-storey building, on Wednesday evening at 8 pm. After a strenuous effort of 3 hours, the fire was brought under control. However, even after 12 hours of the incident, electricity and water supply have not been restored, causing distress to the residents.
Incident Details
At around 7:30 pm, smoke started coming into the gallery of the 8th floor, where an active CA office was located. The smoke quickly spread, prompting everyone to evacuate. The fire escalated rapidly, but luckily, all residents had already evacuated the building by then.
Quick Response and Evacuation
The driver of the studio operated in the apartment, Sanjeev Sinha, recounted the sudden appearance of black smoke and flames. He swiftly escorted the owner, O.P. Agrawal, and other residents out of the building using the lift. Prompt action ensured that no major casualties occurred, and the fire brigade arrived just in time to prevent a disaster.

All belongings in the affected flat were reduced to ashes, but the timely evacuation prevented any major mishap. The employees of the World Dialogue Office on the 10th floor were also present during the incident and managed to escape safely. The fire was contained within the room, preventing any further damage to the building or harm to residents on the 9th and 10th floors.
सूर्या अपार्टमेंट के 9वीं माले के फ्लैट में बुधवार शाम 8 बजे आग लग गई थी, जिसके बाद 3 घंटे की कड़ी मशक्कत के बाद आग पर काबू पा लिया गया। लेकिन घटना के 12 घंटे बाद भी बिजली-पानी बहाल नहीं होने के कारण अपार्टमेंट में रहने वाले लोगों की परेशानी बढ़ गई है। आग कमरे के अंदर थी और अगर कमरे से बाहर निकली होती तो 9वें और 10वें माले पर लोग फंस जाते।
